jsp:forward problem

[Lutra]

Hi!

I'm pretty new to JSP and JSTL. At the moment I'm trying to create a simple login system and ran into a weird problem I haven't been able to solve.

I have a login.jsp page which has a standard html form for username and password and also a JSTL core tag that looks like this:

<c:if test="${sessionScope.login == 'ok'} >
<jsp:forward page="LoginServlet" />
</c:if>

The idea is that if the user has already logged in succesfully, the LoginServlet creates a session which has login attribute with a value 'ok'. If the user after that comes to the login.jsp page, the page forwards the user automatically. Well, it works on some level...

The problems start if I happen the restart the Tomcat server my application runs on. Before the restart everything is working as it should be. After the restart when I come to the login page, it tries to forward me even though there should be no session nor login attribute anywhere! The same thing happens even if I invalidate the session or assign the login attribute null values before restarting the server.

I honestly have no idea what's going on and it would be great if someone could help me with this.
